'03 was ARCA's 51st season since 1953.
ARCA is home to pre-owned WC cars.
22 races including 2 Dirt in '03 & usually up to 40 cars start.

Frank Kimmel age 41 won his 5th Championship in the last 6 seasons.
In 258 Starts, he has 50 Wins (#1 in ARCA, I think.), 19.38 Win%.

Tony Stewart got his 1st Win in the Duquoin(IL) Dirt.
Kenny Schrader got his 10th Win in 29 career starts at 22.SBVA.
Kirk Shelmerdine (DE's 4X Champ CC) got his 3rd career win.

There were 5 First Time Winners:
Chase Montgomery age 20, Kyle Busch-2W age 18,
Shelby Howard-3W age 18(another Hurryin' Hoosier),
Casey Mears-3W age 25, Paul Menard age 23(son of IRL & Home Improv).

With the exception of Shelmerdine, you are looking at one reason that
some ARCA teams, drivers and some fans are not happy with the current setup.
Each of those teams, good people that they are, have big time Winston--scuse
me--
Nextel Cup money behind them. They just have too much horsepower for the
other teams to do anything but spend the day going round in circles/

Yeah, Stewart and Schrader ,etc put fans in the stands
today...Tomorrow....well, if the rest of the ARCA teams barely have enough
money for tires and a new engine, who will comprise the rest of the field?
